PANews January 28 News, according to Cointelegraph, data from Santiment shows that as precious metal prices rise, discussions about silver and gold on social media have exceeded those about cryptocurrencies for most of this month. The gold topic surged in the second week of January with the gold price reaching a new high, dominating social discussions from January 8 to 18; after a brief rebound in cryptocurrency discussions in the third week of January, silver has recently hit a new all-time high, making it once again a social focal point. Santiment analysts pointed out that cryptocurrency traders often switch between different digital asset sectors (such as meme coins, AI tokens, blue-chip coins) to chase hot topics, and current retail investors have shown a tendency to switch across asset classes, shifting their interests to gold, silver, and even stocks following the latest rising assets.
